Associate Professor

Research Interest

GIS, Geocomputation, Modelling and Integrated Geospatial Analysis

My research focus has been around spatial analysis, sustainability and environmental modelling. There is a significant body of knowledge on the impact of human on the environment, this does not suggest the work is complete but there is an emerging need for research providing knowledge on human-environment interaction which could address various aspects of sustainability such as behavioural changes, adaptability, resilience and holistic environmental modelling as well as disaster risk management and risk reduction. In order to address these environmental and sustainability issues I am interested in exploring research in the following areas:

  • Environmental Modelling and Spatial Analysis for disaster risk management and risk reduction
  • Spatial Database and ICT infrastructure for environmental and socioeconomic policy support
  • Spatially enabled social sciences and socioecological systems
  • Agent-based modelling for policy analysis.
